What will happen to the partner programs? Will they remain separate?
By the end of 2008, we plan to harmonize all partner programs around one common program framework to simplify partner interaction and provide increased visibility into the expanded opportunities for partners. This underlying framework, the SAP PartnerEdge program, will provide a comprehensive and harmonized set of resources (partner enablement, capability building, marketing enablement, sales enablement, references) to help partners achieve success while addressing the unique needs of the Business Objects partner community.
